Two country singing hillbillies appeared on The Muppet Show. Both were performed by Jim Henson and were very similar in look and technique.

Slim[1], a large hillbilly puppet, appeared in The Muppet Showepisode 115 where he sang "Put Another Log on the Fire" to his wife. The guitar-playing hillbilly wore a beard, bowler hat, blue jeans and flannel shirt. His head was similar in design to Zelda Rose. The human-sized character was seen sitting in a chair. Although it appeared to be a full-body Muppet, it was not a costume worn by a performer. Henson was crouched down under the seat operating the upper part of the character like a normal live-hand Muppet and rods were used to control the hillbilly's tapping legs. This hillbilly later appeared in issue #2 of The Treasure of Peg-Leg Wilson, in which Kermit calls him "Mister McCoy."

Another country singing hillbilly sang "Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own" with Twiggy in The Muppet Showepisode 121. This hillbilly wore a beard, straw hat, blue jeans and a flannel shirt. He was seen sitting on a fence and was operated similar to the earlier hillbilly singer. He had a different head, which was rounder when compared to his more cylindrical headed predecessor; and although he too was performed by Jim Henson, his voice was quite different from the other hillbilly from six episodes earlier.
